Will GM pay my monthly payment if my truck spends the month at the dealership???

Some owners have had GM or the Dealer provide compensation in the form of Extended Warranties, Monthly payments, Chevy Rewards increased. Contact the dealership, customer service and the GM Field Rep.

Dont do the recalls! Tell them you want to wait until they sort out the issues with those updates.

Taking advice not to get the recalls, been waiting for a few weeks for them to get sorted out and they still can't get them right.  I've had such bad luck with this truck that I wouldn't be all that m

Folks-  Just some words of advice for those of you who are going thru this but have not yet visited your dealership.  9 times out of 10 your dealership is not going to have any clue about this issue a

I had this happen today started truck while in wal mart with my chevy app. Got into truck started to drive and all of the reported warning lights came on. Of course my brakes where gone to the floor like a old manual system. I had the recall done early Dec. I have started he truck with the app several times since then. I had on star give me the codes drove slowly to the dealer told the service advisor everything that happened she asked a couple of questions and showed her the codes. They had this happen to another customer recently and everything was the same and the codes. She did state that GM is aware of this issue and is "working on it".

They said they had fixed the other vehicle by test driving and computer programing and some other stuff wasn't paying a lot of attention since I had read about this on this forum.

I was just glad she knew about it and admitted GM knows about it. I am in a Colorado for now they only had this one 4wd vehicle left on the lot and it was just turned in.

Thanks

I had experienced this issue last week after using my OnStar app to remote start.  Dealer reset it so the CEL could come off.  But today I experienced the Service Brake, etc messages again without any OnStar remote start.  Sitting in the truck in Accessory mode for 10-15 minutes.  CarPlay playing some music.  Then started the truck inside and boom.  Service Brake galore.  Dealer suspected my Accessory mode usage zapped the already low battery to trigger the messages.  Anyone experiencing the same?

Does sort of backup the low voltage theory but then there is another problem. Sitting for 15 mins runs your battery down enough to give you brake errors is not a good thing.

I sent a certified letter and GM has called me every day. I was unavailable every time (in a meeting) however I am going to ask for extended bumper to bumper coverage considering my truck has only had one occurrence since the trip to the dealership last week.

Seems very reasonable.  I hope they agree.

It seems GM has come out with a software fix to address the Remote Start feature thru Onstar which affects braking. PIT 5728B is the new TSB.

Be careful. I'll bet the brakes are spongy.

I called up the tow, I didn't want to chance it with the socal freeways... My luck it would fail and I would bump someone haha. OnStar has a truck on the way, about 45 min total since I turned the truck on til tow arrival so I cannot complain, at least they sent a truck asap.

 

Now let's see what GM say/does.

Have you had the recent Recalls completed on your vehicle? Did you happen to remote start your vehicle with the Chevy/Gmc Myapp? If so GM has a recent software update to hopefully address this situation in PIT 5728B.

If you haven't had these recalls completed, ensure the dealership knows and ensure they get everything done along with the PIT5728B bulletin.

I did have the recalls taken care of by the dealer about two weeks ago or so.  

 

Yes I did start with the app. 

 

When the truck was started back up only the check engine light on. Let's hope for the best. I will update asap

Can anyone post the details of the PIT5728B bulletin?  Wasn’t able to find it via Google maybe too new or it is not publicly viewable?  Sorry, I’m new to this so I don’t know how that works.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
